Current Photo Contests

Whether you’ve already made your book or want to start, Photography.Book.Now is for working photographers, students of the discipline, and curious enthusiasts.

Now you can make your photography book with complete creative control. Your book can take many forms. The Photography.Book.Now competition has two categories in which you can enter — General or Themed. Enter in one or both. Enter as many books as you would like.

• General Photography Book
  This is your chance to show off your best photography book. We are looking for books of all types—portfolios, retrospectives of your life’s work, anything you would like. This category celebrates the sheer diversity of the photographic medium, and gives you the creative freedom to produce the book of your choice.
• Thematic Photography Book
  The themed category celebrates the photography book as an experience that is more than the sum of its parts. Choose a topic, a concept, a collection of work, and show us how photography can create a narrative in book form. Long-term projects, doc studies projects, and broad photography book projects are all welcome.

Grand Prize - $25,000 to finish - or start - any project you want.
